Drinking in Hudson

  Obscure drinking competitions from the 80s:    Every Christmas Eve between 1979 and 1983 - and possibly beyond - patrons of the Chateau du Lac Bar in Hudson would compete to see where more English or French customers could assemble at the bucolic drinking spot.
   The municipality is two-thirds English speaking and was even more English at the time.
   So not too surprising that the English won every year.
   No women were allowed.
   The losing clientele had to buy a round for the English and sing a song of their choice. The event was dubbed The Pepsi Challenge.
